The media ARE not amused. Journalists...no English 101 required. Yes it is. The word has morphed over the years into a collective noun.
Speaking about a sports team, would you say "the team were not amused?"
I suppose a limey might; but not likely in the U.S.

Your analysis makes sense. The media as whole entity is singular, the same with a team.
